Malik recently shared some thoughts he had about the murder of Tyre Nichols and the public response.
I feel the response has been lackluster, like the response when the Kentucky pigs got off and Louisville didn’t do anything. It’s really saddening to me. I’ve been enraged being in here unable to do anything. I feel more helpless than ever. I don’t think the family calling for peace helped any. Know this: if anything like that happens to my family or myself, I DO NOT want peace. And if it was you or yours, I’m going to war for you as well. Nobody should need the videos to get active, that’s a shame, but I’m for whatever gets peoples fires alight.

tl;dr Rustoleum 2x is the best widely available spray paint. Wear nitrile gloves. Don’t get paint the day you paint, leave your phone at home, and be careful not to run out of room and make typos. You don’t need to rush.
When I first got into using spray paint, I was frustrated at how little information there was online about what paint is good, what isn’t, how spray paint tips work, what is the hardest to buff, and stuff like that. I did a bunch of digging on graffiti message boards and IRL experiments since I didn’t have an graffiti friends to ask. The purpose of this guide is to help other radicals not waste time with bad paint and give some tips to maximize their output with minimum time and money. I have no experience with graffiti or street art, just scrawling my messages on walls. Continue reading “ Beginners Guide to Spray Paint Vandalism”
These people live here, in the Cut. Some of them have made this camp their home for over 4 years. Many of the occupants of this camp grew up in St. John’s and in some cases have roots going back generations, but have been forced out of their family homes by greedy landlords and bankers. Landlords and bankers who see housing as a way to realize profit, instead of an essential component to living a full, complete life. The only difference between you and the folks of the Cut is money. They can’t afford houses, but this camp is their home. Continue reading “In what reality is the comfort of five goats valued over the shelter of more than fifteen people?”
“How can we, as medium-to-large cities, publicly attack power in a way that makes us stronger rather than weaker?…rather than trapping ourselves in a cycle of low-level vandalism…how can we sustain combative momentum without becoming more marginalized and disconnected, let alone more specialized and irrelevant?” – Atlanta report-back, 2012.
We see the attack on Workers Tap and its accompanying communique as a counterproductive way of spurring conversation about disability, accessibility and covid. We wish to engage with these questions seriously despite the manner in which they were posed and the absolutist stance the author of the communique took on what are, in our view, issues with some nuance.

Report back and accountability letter from PDX event on 1/27/23 at the Oregon Convention center from anonymous ag’s who helped organize.
On 1/27/23 an event demanding Justice for Tyre Nichols (recently murdered by Memphis police) was planned at 7PM at the Oregon convention center, the event kicked off around 7:30PM with a crowd of nearly 150 people mostly all in black bloc. At the same time this event started there was a second event planned at the Burnside Skatepark led by Dre Miller, past member of J.U.I.C.E.

In the early hours of January 29th, some disabled anarchist attacked Worker’s Tap through tagging it and damaging a window. Due to the bullet-proof glass, the window’s damage would only consist of small dents. However, multiple phrases were thrown up. A circle “(A)” to signify that this was an anarchist who did this action. A “161” to call out that it was fascists forces whom originally paved the path of COVID as a genocide since April 2020 through the blood of primarily Black and Indigenous disabled people, a road of bones which now many liberals and ableist anarchists goose-stomp on in collaboration with the fascists to maintain a “normal” for keeping bars and other viral-friendly entertainment operating at the expense of disabled lives.

Answering a call for retaliation against the murder of Tortuguita, we burned a large excavator in Portland yesterday night.
Tortuguita died trying to kill a cop in defense of the Weelaunee forest. Never let this be forgotten.
With these flames we honor their bravery. With smoke we send a prayer into the night that the next cop won’t be so lucky.
We attack the same machines that threaten the forest in Atlanta and everything wild.
FIRE TO THE EARTH DESTROYERS
Until every cop is dead and all they defend burnt to ashes.

Last night I broke into a Bank of America in Portland, Oregon and started a large fire. According to news reports, the fire grew quickly and took firefighters more than an hour to extinguish.
I attack for revenge against capital for the hell it creates, to break the illusion of police control that usually protects it, and just because I can.
Bank of America funds the Atlanta Police Foundation and a thousand other projects of control. Earlier that day, the six friends in Atlanta charged with “domestic terrorism” were released from jail. May this fire bring them some warmth in winter.
Long live anarchy!
